You Can be a FiddleStar

I post things about fiddling. And how we can all be better at it.

<p>Fall camps are starting to take shape! And you know how quickly these things sell out so start marking your calendars… Adult Beginner Fiddle Camp - registration opens May 1 at 9am Central. Play slowly, learn fabulous habits, feel empowered, not intimidated. #fiddlestar #fiddlecamp #fiddle @deanier @thenatelee  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>#tbt The watch my father bought me for my 21st birthday. He took me shopping and let me pick it out. I’m 41 now and he’s been dead for over 10 years. He was a kind and generous man and I miss him daily. He was also damn punctual so this gift always brings back perfect memories of him. #lombarditime #ifyoureontimeyourelate  (at Ridgetop, Tennessee)</p>

<p>Loved this moment at #nashvilleflatpickcamp with @adamschlenker I was proud to play with him in the staff concert and proud to know him all the time. Also, it appears I am now a hat person. Thanks to @flipsidehats for all the upcycled cuteness. #martinguitar #fiddle #flatpicking (photo stolen from Adam Schlenker) (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>Loved listening to this jam from the stairs. Heard my husband play things I’ve never heard him play before. He was having so much fun and that’s the best feeling… I love this camp, these campers and teachers, and our life. #nashvilleflatpickcamp #flatpicking #guitar #nashville  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>Here’s a challenge for all our dear campers out there! Mikkell sent me this adorable picture of her wearing her FiddleStar camp shirt on a longhorn while on vacation in Texas and it got us thinking, where have you worn your Nashville Acoustic Camp (don’t forget FiddleStar and Songwriter Camps!) shirt? Is there photographic evidence? Share it! We love you all… #nashvilleacousticcamps #nashvilleflatpickcamp #nashvillemandolincamp #fiddlestar #nashvillesongwritercamp #nashvilleclawhammercamp #fiddlebanjocamp  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

<p>A rare sight, (probably getting less and less rare these days, considering how much people are loving these guitars) THREE Preston Thompson guitars in one room. Two proud endorsers of PTG and one excited new owner! @thompsonguitars @cartervintageguitars #nashville #flatpicking #nashvilleflatpickcamp #sirwinstoncup  (at Fiddlestar)</p>

I am excited to embark on a new chapter of my working life - I recently gave my notice to the Pam Tillis organization and will no longer be touring with her or Lorrie Morgan (on their awesome Grits and Glamour Tour). I must admit, I'm sad to be leaving. It's been an incredible four years and I have learned so much. Thanks to Pam, her amazing husband/manager Matt Spicher, and my bandmates, especially the lovely and talented Mary Sue Englund, with whom I spent more time over the last few years than I did with my husband. And I wouldn't trade a minute of it...
